so ive just gone live and my internet keeps dropping every so often and the only way to get it back on is by rebooting the router through the gui. its a netgear router and im using wireless on adsl. Only just got up and running so its annoying it keeps dropping. any tips?

Re: keep disconnecting every 10 mins

I've just been advised that it's because of the training period is this true? Has anyone else experienced frequent disconnections during the training period

Re: keep disconnecting every 10 mins

Try changing your wireless channel. To do this:
Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. Select the Wireless Settings in the main menu. The Wireless Settings screen displays. Then you should be able to change the wireless channel.
Give that a go and see if it resolves the issue.

Hi reece251,
What's the model of your Netgear Router?

Re: keep disconnecting every 10 mins

That router should be fine.
I would certainly wait for the 10 day training period to end. This will allow your connection time to settle in and stabilise. If you're having problems primarily with wireless, it might be worth looking to see if you have any updates for your Wireless Card (Please see your Wireless Card manufacturer's website for further information on this.)
If this is up to date, are you able to change the Wireless Channel, as kirk as suggested?

Re: keep disconnecting every 10 mins

Everything's up to date the trouble is I stay connected to the router so on all my devices it shows as connected to my router but Ijust ccan't access the Internet after 10 mins. I have changed to wireless channel 6 and need to wait an hour to see if the connection holds

Ok. Let me know how you get on. Fingers crossed the change in wireless channel should do the trick.

Re: keep disconnecting every 10 mins

That sounds about right, given the speed estimate for your line.
